‘I’m Not Crying!!’: Kelly Rowland Shares Heartwarming Moment Shared Between Son Noah and Tina Knowles-Lawson

Tina Knowles-Lawson’s love for Kelly Rowland’s children has hearts aflutter on social media. 

The mother to singers Beyoncé and Solange often swoons over her maternal grandchildren with posts shared to social media. But the love is no different for the two children of the “Destiny’s Child” group member.

Rowland shared just a snippet of a heartwarming moment of her youngest son, Noah, being cuddled by Knowles-Lawson during a bottle feeding aboard a boat. The priceless moment was accompanied by an equally emotion-evoking caption: “I’m not crying!!! Nope! [crying emojis] This is the sweetest!! This fills my heart with so much joy, cause I feel like Both My Mother’s are in this pic!…..LOOK at that sky! Noah loves cuddles!! [red heart emojis]”

Fans of the “Motivation” singer were just as touched by the moment, and it showed by the comments they left on the Instagram post. 

“Omg this moment is so sweet! I might shed a tear for real [heart eyes emoji]”

“Awwww so sweet [heart emoji] [heart eyes emoji] she is amazing and ur angel is as well”

“Isn’t that her godmother anyway? I always thought her and Beyoncé was godsisters this is a very beautiful video [heart emoji] [heart eye emoji].”

Rowland and her husband, Tim Spoon, welcomed their first child together — son Titan Jewell — in November 2014. Three weeks into postpartum recovery, Rowland’s mother, Doris Rowland Garrison, died unexpectedly.

In November of last year, Rowland reflected on the impact her relationship with her mother had on her. “She taught me so much in her space, in her stage as a mother, and I’m so grateful to her for that and grateful to her for her sacrifices,” Rowland told talk show host Tamron Hall. “You become a mother and you see why you do or say certain things and some of it is hard to process or understand, but you grow to understand it, and I get it now.”

This January Rowland and her husband welcomed son Noah to the family. Given the impact of the pandemic, Rowland shared that her closest family and friends — including band mates Beyoncé, Michelle, and her bonus mother Knowles-Lawson — all witnessed the birth via a video conferencing call.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
